A wireless device may include a transmitter and one or more processors. The processors may be configured to receive a plurality of spatial streams of encoded data corresponding to a number of spatial streams. The processors may be configured to modulate encoded bits of the encoded data to a set of modulated symbols using a number of bits per subcarrier stream (NBPSCS). The processors may be configured to determine a tone-mapping distance based at least on the number of spatial streams and the NBPSCS. The processors may be configured to map the set of modulated symbols onto a set of frequency subcarriers using the determined tone-mapping distance. The transmitter may be configured to transmit the encoded data to another wireless device using the set of frequency subcarriers.

An apparatus including first and second samplers, first and second analog-to-digital converters, and a clock generator. The first sampler produces a first stream of sampled values in response to sampling an analog input signal on a first input channel. The first analog-to-digital converter generates a first stream of digital data. The second sampler produces a second stream of sampled values in response to sampling an analog input signal on a second input channel. The second analog-to-digital converter converts the second stream of sampled values into a second stream of digital data. The clock generator causes the first analog-to-digital converter to convert the first stream of sampled values into the first stream of digital data in response to a mode instruction designating a custom operating mode. The clock generator also causes the first analog-to-digital converter to convert the second stream of sampled values into the first stream of digital data in response to the mode instruction designating a standard operating mode.

Equal probability dynamic element matching functionality for use in various types of integrated circuits (e.g., communications circuits, etc.). The equal probability dynamic element matching functionality generally includes arranging circuit elements in a loop, and using both a pointer and a random number having a binary value to provide equal selection of circuit elements in the loop over time. The equal probability dynamic element matching functionality can be used to improve performance and durability of various types of integrated circuits.

An apparatus including a comparator and a plurality of replica current sources. The comparator outputs a control voltage onto an output line upon comparing a midpoint voltage with a feedback voltage. The control voltage indicates whether the feedback voltage is higher or lower than the midpoint voltage. Each of the replica current sources draws a supply voltage from a supply line. A replica current source enters into an inactive state in response to an enable signal being in a deactivating state. Upon entering the inactive state, the replica current source ceases drawing the control voltage from the output line.
